Hi, Thanks for looking at this issue. I am traveling and my regular email provider's SMTP server cannot do outgoing relay for my own domain name. I do have a Gmail account also, so I thought about relaying through smtp.gmail.com. I got an app password and added the gmail account to Thunderbird. Downloaded gmail messages fine, and outgoing mail was fine. Incoming mail from my own account stopped coming in. When asking to get mail a blue bar is on the bottom right. After a while it goes away. My incoming mail server does not get a request. There is mail waiting to be delivered. Tried the following: Thunderbird safe mode: no change. Updated thunderbird to 115.18.0 : no change Restarted, etc: no change Opened error console: NS_ERROR_ABORT: Password dialog canceled 2 MsgIncomingServer.jsm:924 mailnews.pop3.2: NetworkTimeoutError: a Network error occurred Pop3Client.jsm:369:18 mailnews.pop3.2: SecurityError info: Pop3Client.jsm:408:20 This page is in Quirks Mode. Page layout may be impacted. For Standards Mode use “”. MsgIncomingServer.jsm This page is in Quirks Mode. Page layout may be impacted. For Standards Mode use “”. Pop3Client.jsm NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Prevent view-source recursion URIFixup.sys.mjs:1148

Tried removing the saved passwords for my account and for gmail. Get mail for gmail asks for a password. My account does not.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks much, Charles
